Hello Creative Lotus Family!

On today's episode I sit down and talk creative with celebrity makeup artist AARON PAUL. Aaron shares about his struggles of moving to the OC from Kentucky, coming to LA for makeup artistry and finding his way into creating beautiful looks on female celebrity women of color. His eye for beauty and making his clients' skin glow has been at the foundation of his work. He feels that he is the "luckiest person in the world" being able to do the work he does, and live the creative life he leads in LA and around the world.

To check out more of Aaron's work, follow him on instagram @aaronpaulbeauty where he posts his recent makeup work. Or follow along on his TikTok @aaronpaulbeauty for beauty tips and tricks. To see his book of work, checkout his portfolio online https://www.eamgmt.com/aaronpaul
